Angel Moreno Jr. entered the plea in Ottawa County Circuit Court in connection with the April 25 incident at his home on West 31st Street. A charge of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm will be dropped in exchange for the guilty plea, court officials said.

Investigators say Moreno stabbed the victim several times in the upper torso outside the home with a knife that had a 3-inch-wide blade. The victim was treated at Holland Hospital and later released.

The Supreme Court had overturned a conviction against Moreno on a charge of resisting and obstructing in connection with a December 2008 incident in which a Holland officer was injured. The high court ruled that police entered Moreno’s home without a warrant in trying to locate another man wanted on several charges.

Sentencing has been set for March 18 in Ottawa County Circuit Court. Moreno could be sentenced from 2 to 17 years in prison, court officials said.
